MILE. RHEA.

Mile Rhea will appear in Granite Hall
Saturday evening, September 18th in her
masterpiece, presenting her marvellous
portrayal of Galatea in w S. Gibert's
Neurological Comedy of Pygmalion and
Galetea. OF Mile Rhea's success in this
role critics all unite in calling her the Ideal
Galatea," The following from the Wash
ington Post says of her Galetea:
Rhea's conception and portrayal of the
character of Galstea showed the true artistic.
Her transition from the chiselled beauty of
lifeess statue to moving, living, breathing
flesh and blood, woman in the full bloom
of woman hood, was indeed a marvellous
piece of her acting. Again when it flashed
upon her as yet, unframed mind, that
Pygmaion did not love her as she loved
him, the wild desparng. yet resigned look
and action, betokened the true and innocent
women. Mile Rhea is an artistic such as
our city has not seen before.

Tho Princess OF Wales.

In less than month the Princess Of
Wales will complete her 42d year. Her
royal highness remains one Of the young
est looking women of her age in England,
DESPITE married life that has not been
all sugar plums and coffee. During the
lest year or two, however, the princess
has, regretably enough, aged somewhat,
as those who know her most intimately
and love her best have been forced to
admit. Time Is tracing lines about her
kindly eyes, and her neck, that sure
chronicle of woman's age has its dis
agreeable little tale to tell; but these little
things detract nothing from the magnetic
charm OF her presence, and 1t is o satisfac-
ton to know that she makes as good O
portrait as ever--a satisfaction, because
it is by means Of her photographs that
the princess is principally known to the
common people.
The princess birthday will be cele-
braSed by ball tc the Sandringham
tenants, whose ladies are already scour-
ing the country for appropriate dress in
which to meet her royal highness. Necks
and shoulders and arms are being nightly
inspected before the mirror in their
owners anxiety to know whether they
will be sufficiently presentable for barring
to the critical gaze Of royalty. A great
trade Is being done By the Norfolk.

The D1scoveror of Anthracite conl.

The D1scoVercr OF Anthracite Conl.
Anthracite was discovered in Pennsyl-
yania in 1900 by Nicholas Allen. This
Allen, according to the stories and tradi-
tions that have been handed down about
him must have been kind of American
Rip Van Wrinkle. IIe had come down
from the Lake Champlain lumber region,
and opened an inn on the summit Of the
Broad mountain. For q time he led a
wandering existence, hunting, fishing and
numbering, while his wife attended to the
wants of thirsty travellers. In one Of his
foot Of the Broad mountain at q spot
where q coal vein cropped out, and upon
lighting fire was astonished at the in
tense heat it threw off. he also saw that
some Of the black stone had become red
hot. He dug some of it and carried 1t
home, when his wife, more practical than
himself, pronounced it coal.
They SOW the coal crop out in abun-
dance, and visions OF fortunes that might
be realized out of it flashed through their
minds simultaneously. So, disposing Of
their effects, they loaded two largo coY-
cred wagons with coal and set out for
Philadelphia with the intention Of mar
keting it there and discovering its true
value. They drove along tbs banks of the
S Shuylkill, sleeping in the open air ut
night. At Pottstown three of their horses
died, and the coal was dumped into the
river. Wearied and disheartened, the
pair returned to the old place at the sum-
nit of the mountain, and shortly after
ward Allen laid his faithful wife to rest
over the coal vein that proved their ruin
and turned his face toward the west,
where after an uneYentful career he en-
listed for the campaign under Harrison
and fell at Tippecanoe.-Scientific Amer
